Hi all

I have had this happen twice to me. Once when I was moved to a new server at TotalChoiceHosting and now after I restored a backup.

I get this; Error: Your Userfile is not writeable

The first time I had TCH fix it and it took for ever and they flaged all kind of files. Is this just one file that gets mis flaged after a backup restore?
